Wilhelm Horborch
Wilhelm Horborch (Latin Guillelmus Horborch ; † 1384 in Rome ) was a German canonist .
Live and act
Wilhelm Horborch's ancestors were patricians from Hamburg. His father Johann and brother Bertram Horborch belonged to the Hamburg council and acted there as mayors. Wilhelm Horboch studied the fine arts and law in Paris . Pope Innocent VI Appointed him in 1361 as Master of Arts and Baccalaureus of Canon Law to the collector in the Diocese of Bremen and in the Diocese of Verden . Two years later he took over the post of provost in the Hamburg cathedral chapter and in the same year switched to the post of cathedral dean . Thus he took over the ecclesiastical jurisdiction until 1367.
Art historians suspect that Horborch asked Master Bertram to design the Grabower Altar, completed in 1383, for the St. Petrikirche in Hamburg . The work was created during Bertram Horborch's service as Hamburg mayor and possible donor of the altar. From 1367 to 1368 Wilhelm Horborch studied law in Bologna , where he received his doctorate in canon law . In 1371/72 he followed a call from Emperor Charles IV as professor of canon law at the University of Prague, which he founded in 1348 . Pope Gregory XI. appointed Horborch 1375/76 as auditor of the Rota Romana with official seat first in Avignon and then until the end of his life in Rome. In 1379 he was appointed provost of the cathedral in Krakow , but transferred the official duties to a vicar . During his time in Rome, he summarized decisions of the Rota Romana in chronological order. The first collection “Decisiones antiquae” covered the years up to 1376, the second Decisiones novae from 1376 to 1381. Many manuscripts and prints are known of these “Decisiones Rotae Romanae”.
